The End had come
, November 17, 2002Reviewer:
LastDragon55 - See all LastDragon55's reviews 1 of 1 Yahoo! Users found this Da Crime Family review helpful No Limit, by this time, had accomplished all it could in Hip-Hop. Maybe, that's the reason things went so much down south as 1999 came around. It started with a few bad tracks here and there, ten it turned into them abandoning their true thug styles and doing crappy call and response tracks. This album became the culmination on No Limit's downslide. Their production team, Beats By The Pound, was left for dead and the result was an album with beats that were nowhere near their caliber (You noticed they left No Limit almost as soon as this album came out). All of No Limit's artist were rapping about party jams and Bling. They'd lost the magic that made them good which was gangsta rapwith gangst beats. The only one who stuck to that formula No Limit had been about was C-Murder. To this day, he's the only No Limit artist who made mucis worth a damn after 1999 (too bad about his current legal troubles). To sum it all up, this was an ok album, but very dissapointing. Looking back, this was the starting point to the sorry state No Limit is in today. If you ever have the urge to pick up any post Mid-1999 No LImit, stick to C-Murder 0r The only album done by The 504 Boys (It's at least listenable). ... -

Pro Reviews: Da Crime Family
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews When Tru released their second album, the cleverly titled Tru 2 da Game, in early 1997, its mastermind Master P was on the verge of superstardom. Nobody knew it at the time, of course, he was just one of the biggest figures in the Dirty South. That summer, Master P broke big, taking No Limit along with him. Of course, this was also good news for his fellow Tru colleagues, Silkk tha Shocker and C-Murder, who became stars in their own right. Of course, this built up expectations for Da Crime Family, Tru's third album and their first since stardom. But, as the saying goes, the more things change, the more they stay the same. Tru may be big stars now, but they haven't taken that as an opportunity to expand or develop their music -- they simply made the same album anybody on No Limit (with the notable exception of Snoop Dogg) made in the two years following Master P's elevation to stardom. In other words, Da Crime Family feels identical to Tru 2 da Game, with the same sort of recycled beats, hooks, and lyrics that graced that record. At least that album had some grit and (maybe) some element of surprise. Here, the trio feels as if they're putting their gangsta suit on and going to work. Perhaps it shouldn't be a surprise that an album by a man who's more notorious for his business practices than his music sounds so workmanlike, but it's nevertheless amazing how rigid and formulaic this sounds. There are no surprises: the rhymes, rhythms, hooks, and skits all fall into place exactly where they should. To some, that may be a blessing, since that's all they're looking for from a No Limit record, but discerning listeners may start to wonder why they have a shelf full of discs that are all essentially the same. - Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide |
